No identity: no authority.

Oh good the morality police are here.

You're generalizing and projecting your own experiences onto people with agency who can make their own lifestyle decisions. Please speak accordingly.

I have horrible neighbors and no HOA. I do not wish I was apart of an HOA.

Encouraging people to procreate is absolutely wild to me. That's just adding fuel to the fire.

congrats, now the only songs you can play have G, Em, and Em11.

Imagine the danger and legitimate fear a stalking victim would face if their stalker is a police officer with access to Flock.

Going out on a limb by suggesting if someone dropped 7 large on an MS machine, recouping the cost isn't a huge priority.

Sorry to interrupt the pedantry about whether a specific entity counts as a state, I'd like to submit the notion that maybe the argument shouldn't be "is a state entity" but rather "is an entity that has some form of authority over my livelihood that is cornering me into a mode of constant surveillance which I do not consent to."

The obvious answer is to leave the organization, but ultimately one shouldn't have to end their employment in order to be free of undue/unjust AI surveillance.

is it the substance that's addictive or is it the relief and respite it provides from this capitalist hellscape we're all drowning in?

This comment strikes me as someone who a) has been 'unplugged' for some time now, having weaned off of social media and phone addiction, and b) someone who collects hobbies as a hobby in and of itself, the first of which being photography.

I felt guilt for not capturing those moments throughout the day where there is a perfect picture... somewhere. Some perfect framing of a branch or a building or interesting subjects doing whatever, but ultimately after unplugging, I realized that I was able to look at something and see the composition and didn't actually need to snap a photo to feel fulfilled as a photographer/artist. Just seeing the picture in real life, knowing I could take a photo but not feeling the need to, is fulfilling enough for me. Might be for others, too?

This comment gives pretty wild middle manager/micromanager vibes and it is more offensive than whatever it is you think you're policing.

you shouldn't take it into consideration, they aren't a mod and clearly have nothing better to do with their time. the pedantry on this site sometimes...
